A security alert on Craigavon Bridge in Londonderry has ended after a suspicious object found on the bridge was declared an elaborate hoax.
Both decks of the bridge were closed following the discovery on Wednesday evening.
Police and Army officers examined the object and it has now been taken away for further examination.
The bridge has since reopened to traffic.
The Skeoge Road was also sealed off by officers when a suspicious object was found, but has since reopened.
